If it doesn't matter whether the points are integers or not you can just pick a number for either y or x and solve for the other variable. For example, if you pick 3 to be your x, plug it in and then solve for y. Start out with: 
Plug in 3 for x: 
. Then, 
. Subtract 21 from both sides and then divide by -3 on both sides. You end up with y=-7 so one of your points is (3, -7)
When you say "at the same ratio", you mean that you consume the same amount of gas for the same amount of miles.
We know that everytime you drive 75 miles, you use 3 gallons of gas.
Since 12 gallons of gas is four times 3 gallons of gas, if the ratio remains the same, you can drive four times the distance:
You drive 75 miles, and use 3 gallons.
You drive 75 more miles (so you are at miles) and use 3 more gallons, so you use
gallons.
You drive 75 more miles (so you are at miles) and use 3 more gallons, so you use
gallons.
You drive 75 more miles (so you are at miles) and use 3 more gallons, so you use
gallons, and you're done.
